Umarex 12g CO2 cartridges are known for their consistently high pressure and uniform quality. The steady pressure ensures that each shot performs the same as the previous one. The purity of the CO2 is crucial-without a clean and reliable CO2 flow, guns can break down, valves may clog, and O-rings or seals can become damaged. While many manufacturers meet size and weight standards, they often do not strictly adhere to purity standards. Umarex cartridges are especially recognized for their consistent quality and cleanliness, helping to preserve seals and internal components.
